Raw Materials for Rammed Earth Walls

December 13, 2008 by admin

The raw material for building rammed earth walls can be sourced locally almost anywhere.

gravel-pit

This is the local gravel pit, when this picture was taken the house we were building was only about 2 km away. The raw material is loaded into the crusher that crushes the larger rocks and screens the mix to a diameter of 3/4″ or less. The sand and smaller percentage of finely distributed silt and clay are naturally occurring and already mixed in with the stone.
